O

badiah

Obadiah|1:1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have

heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye,

and let us rise up against her in battle.

Obadiah|1:2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

Obadiah|1:3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of

the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the

ground?

Obadiah|1:4 Though thou exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among

the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

Obadiah|1:5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would

they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they

not leave [some] grapes?

Obadiah|1:6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought

up!

Obadiah|1:7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the

men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they

that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] none understanding in him.

Obadiah|1:8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise [men] out of

Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

Obadiah|1:9 And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every

one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
